GLEN CARBON — The 100 Black Men of Alton and Madison County have named 56th District Senate candidate Rachelle Aud Crowe as the honorary chairperson of the organization’s annual gala.

The organization is part of a national group that advocates for people who are under-represented and disenfranchised, according to Chapter President Anthony Booker.

Booker said his organization chose Crowe because of her “devotion to justice for all victims.”

“She also understands the important role of rehabilitation, economic opportunity and community outreach in stopping cycles of crime in vulnerable communities,” Booker said.

“I am honored to receive this award. The best part of my job as a prosecutor is standing up for people,” Crowe said.

Crowe has served for more than 10 years as a criminal prosecutor at the Madison County State’s Attorney’s Office, where she prosecuted major felonies. As one of the first prosecutors assigned to the Violent Crimes Unit, she has successfully prosecuted hundreds of homicide, drug, abuse, and gang-related crimes.
